Romantic Vacation in April 2025 - warm islands, packages & more

By: Greg Mattson, ERV Editor - Updated: Oct 4, 2024   

Through our own experiences, readers input and a little research, we've come up with our choices for some of the best places for a vacation in April 2025, and a few ideas about spring honeymoons.

April is a Great Month for a Warm Vacation in Hawaii

In many destinations, April is considered "shoulder" season, so the best spring vacations don't have to be the most expensive. Let's look at some options for your April getaway...

April vacations for 2 in Aruba

Holiday Inn Aruba

Sun & Sand at the Holiday Inn Resort Aruba

Romantic Sunset at the Holiday Inn Aruba

• Holiday Inn Resort Aruba - We've selected this Palm Beach resort as an ideal April getaway in Aruba offering good value, great weather and an amazing white sand beach experience that will feel like soft flour between your toes! King Rooms come with beautiful views from your private balcony, along with A/C and Wi-Fi. The resort has 5 restaurants and a cocktail lounge, with more dining and shopping within easy walking distance. 2023 ERV Rating* for Caribbean April Beach Destinations: 82% - Very Good. (Palm Beach, Aruba) 

• Aruba Vacations Up To 50% Off - With low rainfall amounts and an average temp in the high 80's, April is a fine time for an Aruba vacation or honeymoon, especially as low season is starting to kick-in around mid-month, with fewer crowds and cheaper rates at resorts.

Hawaii in the Spring

Hawaii is not just one of the best April vacations - we could include it just about year-round! But April is an extra-fine time to visit, because weather-wise you can expect few if any storms, with temperatures turning a couple degrees warmer, and sunshine just about everywhere.

• Prince Waikiki - Even though it's in Waikiki close to Ala Moana Center, this Prince hotel has got something extra special: a 5th floor adults-only infinity pool which would do quite nicely for cocktail sipping on a sunny April afternoon. Rooms have a modern Asian-inspired design with views overlooking the marina, and the hotel has several restaurants, including an excellent breakfast buffet and a Honolulu Coffee located in the downstairs lobby. 2023 ERV Rating: 94% - Excellent. (100 Holomoana Street, Honolulu HI 808-824-5155) 

• Hawaii Hotel & Flight Packages - Spend your spring getaway in some romantic Hawaiian Island ocean breezes at resorts like the Westin Moana Surfrider, Mauna Lanai and Hilton Hawaiian Village.

kauai getaways in april

Resort and Beach in Poipu, Kauai

• Romantic Kauai Hotels and Resorts - One Hawaiian Island we really love is Kauai. Find a nice resort to stay at around sunny Poipu Beach in the south, and you're still only 50 miles by car from the magnificent North Shore. Avoid Easter weekend at the very start of the April in 2025 and you should do fine with hotel availability.

Central Florida After Spring Break

Get Ready for Sun & Sand at Clearwater Beach in Florida

Once spring break madness ends, Florida quickly becomes a prime spot for April getaways. Stick to the mid-state area and enjoy the activities and fun around Orlando, the soft-sand beaches of St. Petersburg & Clearwater (below), or Tampa's interesting Latin Quarter and Ybor City. Central Florida weather in April is very nice, with very little rainfall, lots of sun and temps in the low 80's (28 C).

visiting Paris in April

• Paris Vacations - Paris in the Spring is certainly magnifique! The City of Light is in full bloom and extra beautiful this month. The summer crowds haven't arrived yet, making a stroll down the Champs Elysees even more memorable. Paris weather in April will likely give you a taste of both sun and showers, with temperatures likely a reasonably mild 57F (14 c) or so. One April date to keep in mind when planning your vacation is the Paris Marathon, scheduled for Sunday April 13, 2025. Expect big crowds and "adjusted" hotel prices for that weekend. But for the rest of the month, you'll fully enjoy exploring and loving this captivating city - the epitome of a romantic spring vacation.
